Wow, the only reason why HXH doesn´t feel quite as depressing as Shingeki no Kyojin is the shounen-esque artstyle and the more placative music. Basically, the lack of subtlety. Other than that, HXH is MORE gruesome than Shingeki. Just wow. Piling up dead bodies, gathering living prey, killing and eating that girl. Just wow.
Fuck, I don´t want Pokkle to die. Come on, the way he evaded the spider´s netstring-attack was the first time he showed somewhat fighting skills. Remember, he became a hunter only because Hisoka was uninterested in fighting him. And now he´ll be eaten. No. But unavoidable, I guess, since for plot-reasons they need a nen-user´s genes.

While I can see how someone could get tired of all these episodes basically just showing humans being eaten, I feel like the producers are doing a damn great job in world building here. Ffs, the last moments when Kaito, Gon and Killua finally started to activate hunter-mode, it felt like "omg, Son Goku and Son Gohan finished their training in god´s palace, now they´ll fight Cell!". Pure awesomeness.

Only weird thing: Why is Gon angry? We´ve had debates about Gon being seemingly without feelings towards murder before. Shouldn´t this be all natural to him?

Also, about the first half of the episode: First, I thought Gyro was the guy that Gon fought in the tower arena. The one with the spinning.
But anyway, since they spent so much time on this unknown guy, also stating that he became king of the NGL, it´s fairly safe to assume that Gyro´s personality will heavily influence the future mentality of the Chimera-King.
